Trotting Association.

The executive committee of the Minne-
sofa Association of Trotting and Facing
Horse Breeders, at its meeting Wednesday
last, opened ten stakes for 1887, two more
than last year. These are as follows: For
trotters, l, 2, 8, and 5 year OldS. aged
mares and geldings, free to all stations and
stations eligible to the 800 class, and Tor
three year-olds and under and tive-year-olds
and under PAGERS. In all cases nominations
to the stakes must be Minnesota bred and
owned by members of the association, eX-
sept in the two classes for stations, where
the animals must have been in the state at
least one year. owned by members and kept
for stud service. In the yearling stakes the
distance will be half-mile heats, best two i'll
three In the two and three year-old stakes,
mile heats, two in three. and in all others,
mile heats, three in five. For the yearllng.
two and three year-old stakes the en-
trance fee will be SIS, the association
adding S25. the entrance in the balance
being $50, the association adding $40. The
entries are to close April 81, at which time
nominations will also be made for the
Futurty stake of 1890 for the foals of 1887.
The stakes will undoubtedly be trotted
during the state fair, and it is presumed the
state society will give the same amount to
each stake as the association.
1t is gratifying to know that the mem
bership of 1886 has very generally remained
in, and that eight new members were
elected at the meeting of the executive
committee. The new members are: John
j. Gilsby, of Minneapolis; John 7. LIE
Due, Rochester; DIR. Sabin, Lake City;
William Knight and William Schultz,
st. Paul, and W. j. Ives, S. G.
Anderson and Luke Keef, of Hutch
inson. Application having been made for
refunding payment on a nomination to
the Futurity stake for 1889, where the foal
died Immediately after foaling, resolu-
ton was adopted that in no case would the
association refund money when from acct
dent, or other cause subsequent to foaling,
the entry should be incopicitated to con-
tend for the stake. Several payments to
the Anticipation stake to be trotted in 1888
and Futurity stake for 1889, came due Jan.

original nominations for the first named,

tanned, death or baroness of the dam in all

The knights of Labo;.

The whole country breathes freel
because of the attitude of the Ma.
tional Convention of knights of La
nor. On Monday, in that body, Jas,
E. Quinn of District Assembly No
40 of New York, presented the fol-
lowing resolution:
Considering that the development
of the human mind in the nineteenth
century has reached a point of ex.
preston almost universally against
capital punishment or the taking oi
life by Judicial process as a relic Of
barbarism, therefore be it
Resolved, That this Convention
expresses sorrow that the men in Chi
cago were doomed to death, and thai
we use every endeaVor to secure g
communication of the sentence of death
passed upon them.
The resolution was declared, very
promptly, by Powderly, as out of Or
der. An appeal was made by j
Reyans of Pittsburg, which was
voted down by the immense majority
of 157 for to $40 against. This set
ties the question of anarcy in the K
of l.. The order is to be csngratu-
lated and, if the pure doctrines OF
Powderly will universally prevail, the
order will soon be reorganized as q
valuable organization and will possess
universal confidence.

The Territorial Capital,

From all appearances We are in
chnei 70 think that Col. Hamilton's
Few paper, The Capital, indicates an
organized movement for the removal
OF the territory to some point east of
the mountains. To our mind there
Is no kind Of reason why there should
be any serions thought of removal at
this time. We are nop admitted into
statehood yet, and there is no imme-
dlate prospect of such admission.
The democracy is still in power, and
has once defeated 4 very able bill for
admission. There Is noprospect now
for a reconsideration of the question,
or for a more favorable ballot, Many
years may pass by before there will
be any prospect of admission. There
Is now no point more centcred than
Olympia, for very large number of
the counties of the state The lndi-
cations are very strong that the GEN.
ter OF population viii remain on the
west side of the mountains.
Again, Olympia is beautiful place
and deserves this consideration at the
hands of the territory She is at the
head of the waterway of the great
Sound, is easy of access and health
ful for situation; is able to take abun
dant care cf the legislature, and is
IN every other respect, as we'll calou
lated to fill the demands as any Other
spot in the territory, Why remove
Only to boom some other town anC
benefit some land owners and rca
estate dealers. 1t is yet far too early
to even guess at the proper location
There may be large additions or sub
stractions of territory before we be-
come q state.
The ARGUS is prepared to utter it:
protest emphatically against any
proposition to move now. As terri
tory we are not able to erect oul
buildings on any proper scale. IL
remove would entail great expense
and no benefit whatever. Olympi;
shall certainly have what of infuenc,
or voice we can give.

Establishment of a Dry Dock,
IN THE BAY OF PORT TOWNSEND.

EDITOR AEGUS:-Some interest in
the above sutiect being taken by the
general public at this time. A few
remarks relative thereto may be in
order. OF the necessity Of a craving
/ or sectional dock to accommodate the
/ increasing commerce of Puget Sound
! there can no longer be a doubt. and
a. little exists as 10 its proving Il good
/ investment, under able infringement.
! Aside from this, the necessary expen-
diture for 4 large amount of skilled
and other labor. and for material;
would largely benefit the residents of
any locality able and fortunate
| enough to carrylsuch an enterprise to
completion.
No point on the waters OF Puget
Sound presents more favorable po-
sition for Il dry dock, than does the
bay Of Port Townsend, as Is evidenced
by a report Of government engineers,
made more than thirty years ago, in
which the sOuth end of this bay and
one other point were the only places
recommended in this connection.
Although such parts of the north
and west boundary of the bay as are
at present obtainabIc. may not be
considered the best desirable for such
purpose. in consequence of Il too
shOal approach, CT of the effect of
the prevailing winter winds, and ad-
uniting that the same objection may
| possibly apply to the eastern shore;
continuous smooth water for such an
undertaking being great advantage,
! the sOnth end, or head of the bay.
| presents no such obstacles. We have
! there on the east side beautiful
| cove. underiaid by sandstone for
/ nation, soft and easily worked. hay
| Jag perfect harbor with sufficient
! depth of water, whose surface during
! the heaviest gales is scarcely rippled,
and situated less than mile from an
! extensive saw mill from whence all
necessary timber could be procured.
Here Golfer dam could be made, en-
closing the required space. the water
pumped out and the excavated sand
stone used for building the walls,
steps and approachI which 1t would
only be necessary to face with Port
land cement to complete The site
being below high water line would
cost absolutely nothing, with the bulk
OF all material required free upon
the ground.
If, on the other hand, a sectional
or floating dock be required, what
better place could be selected, as in
consequence of the fresh water from
Chimacum creek, nearly opposite,
washing the shore line of the cove,
and the absence of currents, the raw
ages of the dreaded toredo are inin
itely less than usually found IN other
waters of Puget Sound. +. W. j.

Z. B. Washburne.

Tho late Elihu B. Washburne,
whose death has just been recorded,
has filled an important part in the
nations history during the last thirty
years
Mr.. Washbure was born in Liver
more, Maine, in the year 1916. He
worked in II printing office when a
boy, but later studied law. In 1910
he moved West and settled in Gale
na, Illinois. In 1852 he WIS elected
to Congress and served continuously
until 1868, when he was appointed
secretary of state by General Grant.
He resigned this position shortly af-
terward and was appointed Minister
to France, in which country he re-
mained until 1877. He was the only
minister plenopotentiafy who re
inained in Paris during the seige and
commute, and from that fact was
able to render considerable assistance
to foreigners who had remained there
after the city had been surrounded
by the Germans. Since his return to
America Mr.. Washburhe has occupied
his time principally in literary work.

Excellent and Sensible.

The following from the Seattle
Times is exactly in point and exactly
expresses the situation:
Sometimes officers and employees
of societies, as we'll as governments,
come to believe that they, instead oi
their constituents, are the source OF
power, and that neither the needs
nor demands of the latter are worthy
OF consideration unless in accord
with the opinions of the aforesaid
officials.
This idea and the practices result
ant therefrom, can perhaps be per-
petuated IN governments and socie
ties, based upon the theory that each
official is king and therefore can do
no wrong. 1t is, however, antagonis-
tic to the spirit which permeates the
people of this age and country, which
is that every citizen, or member of a
society, should have his proper voice
and SAY" in all matters which affect
the government or the organization
to which he belongs.
The Methodist church is a power
full religious organization. 1t is strong
numerically and rich financially. The
scheme of its government is repnbli
can, rather than monsrchial. Its
laymen support its clergy. No other
resource for their subsistence is pro-
yided. The clergy are, therefore. or
should be, faithful representatives of
their constituents in matters of fl
nance connected with the church.
The action OF the conference lately
held at Olympia, respecting the loca :
ton of the proposed Methodist uni
versity. has evoked widespread and
much unfavorable comment. It was
the action of the clergy alone. Lay
men were not allowed voice or vote.
The result of this action is that, as
often happens when public servants
ignore the wishes or demands of their
constituents, the laymen of the Meth
odist church propose to be heard. As
they are to pay the bills they are IN
doubtedly as fully capable of select
ing site for a university as their
employees, the clergy. That they are
IN earnest, the call published else
where, signed by representative mem
bers of the Methodist church on
Puget Sound, fully attests.
1t is not unlikely that hereafter
more attention will be paid to Law
of the Methodist
church in this territory than signal
lied the meeting of the conference
recently held
